[ANNOUNCE] Git 1.7.7.rc2

A release candidate Git 1.7.7.rc2 is available but unfortunately not at the usual places. Even so (rather, exactly because it is in unusual places, so we are likely to have smaller number of casual observers who grab and build them), please test it to help us make the upcoming release as solid as we could.

A release candidate tarball is found at:

and its SHA-1 checksum is:
